I thought to caution you from talking too much of me, but it isn't likely that she'll hear of it.

[...]

I don't mean to hide you, or us. I intend to deal with her in New York where she can't avoid me. after the wedding. I don't want to disrupt anything for Darius.

I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do, of course. [...] I need to look in to some matters of legality around Sergiy.

[...]

Well, none of this is important just now.

Please, tell your friends, show them anything you like of me. I meant to say I had thought to caution you, but instead of worried, I feel strangely that someone - that you! - would be so pleased with me.

Surprised, perhaps.

Have you seen yourself? You must have, at least once. You must know you're beautiful. [...] Handsome, there's the word. Handsome. But beautiful, also, in every word and gesture, in the stillness of [...] well, three of your photos. Two of them are very unstill - but even those show your vivacity.

I don't understand what makes you pleased enough to share my existence when it's you, Nova, it's your brilliance and life and strength, that which I've seen only in glimpses through messages. I've seen only the shadow of you.

This alone inspires me to be better. I can only imagine what I'll feel at your side.

Why are you sharing news of me as though you're proud? Tell them I'm proud to know you. Tell them I said that you are the music of my soul, Nova. Tell them I'm fortunate for having known you a week, and that a life with you is as incomprehensible and desirable to me as heaven.

[...]

It could be that I find no appeal in myself or men who look like me. I prefer litheness like you possess, the soft sharpness of your body.

But really, Vevay, I think you might overestimate me.
